roadwarrior reply :

I had the privilege of fishing the Swim Bug as a

prototype. On a recent trip to Pickwick/ Kentucky

Lake with .ghoti, I caught several nice bass

including ~4lb smallmouth.

On the day RW described, the TVA shut off power generation, completely screwing up fishing on the river. It was a tough day, to say the least.

Kent and I both put fish in the boat using this new bait.

A better testimonial would be hard to imagine. I know I'll be adding some to my selection of plastics.

Cheers,

.ghoti... what cover did you fish these baits in and what technique/manner? If so, how do these baits differ from the crowd of creature baits in today's market? Looking for a semi-unbiased critique.

Bobby Uhrig reply :

Steve-I just wanted to jump in here for a minute- The reason I made this bait a little different was I wanted a lot of water displacement and action. The guys that I have shown and given this bait to like the way all six of the appendages move. The ribs also displace water which is good for dirty or muddy water applications. Here is what i was doing with it the other day.-Weightless on a 7 ft bait caster 4/o gammy offset worm hook. Throwing it over the grass and just steady reeling with the rod tip at 10 o'clock-It was just churning along the top and Bam they would hit it. I also-added some weight with the 1/8 oz shak-e and let it fall into the holes in the grass.It would just get heavy and I would set the hook. I have also used it a ton just flippn and pitchin. Its a good bait. There are times that a bass wants a subtle action and there are times they want an erratic action like the Rage products. I also find they want an in between action. Remember just about any bait will catch fish at one time or another.Oh and yes-i do like the RAGE products .

Bobby,

I think that was a wise choice. I will not buy plastics unless they are made in america. Thank you for realizing that the USA flag is important to some of us.

Dixon reply :

They look good and the bag is well done. Bobby please answer the question when will they be ready? Seems like its been a year since you showed pics of these things.

Hammer 4 reply :

I think the bag looks great.......oh, wait..you meant the bait..right..?

Are these available for ordering..?

CAdeltaLipRipper reply :

Where do u get mega strike?ive tried nitro grease and that works well, and ive used spike it.Spike it sucked for awhile because it was messy, but i bought a spike it pen and i love it now

adclem reply :

When will these be available to order? Also is there anywhere we can go to see all of them and the available colors?

Thanks,

It's nothing like Spike it. This is a paste instead of a dippin dye. Great product. It's not the garlic scent. Amino acid based, etc etc.

TBendBassin reply :

awesome cant wait to try em out

Mattlures reply :

The bait looks good and I will buy a bag to try them out. Now the bag looks good to but why would it take 8 months to get them made. That is excesive.

birdy reply :

Those look great, how do we get our hands on some?

Dixon reply :

Why wont bobby answer everyones questions about when these baits will be ready. He posts stuff every week or so about these plastics or the wingding but never says when they will be ready.

They were suppose to be on TW like 6 months ago

Kent was fishing a T-rig. I had mine rigged on a jighead.

I was fishing fairly deep, popping it off the bottom, while Kent was fishing his quite a bit slower. Water clarity was in the 18" range; maybe a bit less.

These baits will move some water on the drop, if you use enough weight. I did not try one weightless. Following Speedy's advice, I was fishing between 15 and 25 feet deep.

As far as a comparison, I would say look at two other baits. The Zoom brush hog and a Rage Tail smokin rooster.

The brush hog has a very subtle action. Not a lot of movement from the appendages.

The rooster, or space monkey, have a lot of movement from their various limbs.

Bobby's new bait falls in between these two.

I tend to classify my plastics as either aggressive; ie. Rage Tail baits; or as subtle, ie. Zoom super fluke.

This new bait is right in the middle.

I make bait choices based on action more often than color. I think it helps to change baits based on action rather than color when looking for what will get bit on any given day. Color change is for fine tuning.

I tend to start aggressive, and then work my way down the scale towards no action. Bobby's new bait gives me another intermediate step in the search.

.ghoti., thanks for the information. I especially relate to your "aggressivness scale". I think in terms of a "window" that a bass is comfortable in at any given time. The "aggressivness window" encompasses 1/4 to 1/3 of the entire aggressivness continuum. Obviously a bait in the middle of the continuum will fall within the window more often than one at either end of the scale.

Bobby, I enjoy your posts as much as the next angler but occasionally you near the realm of the "sham-wow" guy. It's nice to get the impressions of a "non-company spokesman".

Thanks for getting the smaller 2/0 hook jigs to me. They are fitting my smallie plastics better than the larger hooked versions. They DO behave as advertised, although they don't come through grass and pond weed as cleanly as the Brewer's spider head. Thanks again for the service and hang on to the gal that answers your phone... she's going to keep you out of alot of trouble!

Bobby Uhrig reply :

No SCAM WOW here- Its just that I put a lot of design-time-and experimenting with all of the products I develop. It might be a personal thing but there is a lot of self-joy when you make something and its a great product. To see some one catch a fish-like a kid or someone win a tournament with a product you developed is outrageous. I try to give all of the insights I have on the development of the product to people about to use of the product or any questions that might be answered before they get the product. I really wish that I could take you guys on the water and show you. As for the times of the baits being ready- Believe me nobody is more ticked off than me. Its not me that is the hold up-Its the other companies that are so backed up producing product. Molds are taking longer-ya have to make sure the bags are perfect- Its just things that are out of my control. It sucks.

Sounds good. Looking forward to them

mrclean77 reply :

Ghoti - as a bass newb/person re-discovering fishing, I appreciate that helpful post on the 2nd page

I consider myself a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none ----- I am into shooting sports, motorcycles, guitars - just made my "re-discovery" of fishing a month or so ago, but is has been very comforting to see how much 'Made in the USA' stuff is available and at the top of the performance/quality ratings when it comes to fishing stuff

Having said all that, I'm sure I have room for these new little guys
